Ah damn! That is not good news. What else have you done to your M3? Does the vibe go away if you go back to the OEM wheels? Curious because then is it possible that this car can only accept it's own 18" and 19" wheels from BMW only and all the rest cause a vibe? That's nuts if it is.
Does your vibration magnify by braking though? This is where it's difficult to figure out if that's because of the wheels, which already there is a slight vibration at 80+mph cruising, or if it's the front rotors causing it.
Someone on the forum mentioned to me on a nother post about this issue that their BMW tech told them that a wider offset wheel causes an aerodynamic affect that causes this vibration. But I find that hard to believe it would be the cause at 80~90mph. the wheel is only sticking out about 12mm or so depending.
Well Stilen just sent me two new front rotors so it better be the fix.
